Advances in Hydroscience, Volume 4 covers selected topics encompassing several areas
of special interest in hydroscience, including naval architecture, water waves, subsurface
water, engineering hydraulics, and stochastic hydrology. This volume is composed of
seven chapters, and begins with a summary of the basic principles and theories involved
in hovering craft operating over water, which should be of interest to naval architects
who may design such vehicles for special purposes. The succeeding chapters deal with
the significance of soil moisture theory in the design of foundations and land
